Donald Trump, a former US president and Republican presidential candidate, declared this Friday, September 13, 2024, that if elected, he would carry out “the largest deportation in the history” of the nation, beginning in Springfield, Ohio, and Aurora, Colorado, where it is alleged that illegal immigrants are consuming animals.
The Republican’s accusation gained prominence after the presidential debate on Tuesday (September 10), being one of the most talked-about statements. On the other hand, the Republican’s referenced city of Springfield, Ohio, was refuted live on air by Democratic Party mayor Rob Rue.
The remarks were an attack on President Joe Biden’s (Democratic Party) and Kamala’s immigration policies. Trump’s opposing stance on illegal immigration has been a recurring theme in his campaign.
He says that American cities are overwhelmed by illegal immigrants coming from prisons and asylums in other countries, which is not confirmed by US authorities.
On Friday (13.Sep), Trump also accused illegal immigrants of “stealing” jobs from the black and Latino population of the United States and said that Venezuelans are “invading” the country.

“They cleared their prisons in Venezuela of bad people. They are all now in the US and are taking over cities. It’s like an invasion,” he said, noting that migrants from the Bolivarian country are controlling the city of Aurora. However, Mayor Mike Coffman (R-Springfield) and Springfield’s chief executive have denied the accusation, calling Trump’s statement “grossly exaggerated.”
